Fall is here

Fall has been here for a little while, but over the last few days it has been really nice outside. Mid-70’s and clear skies all the way.

Today, however, the clouds are rolling in and it feels as if we are about to say good-bye to the sun for awhile. The weather forecast begs to differ, naturally, but the feeling of cloudy days that promise autumn rains feels inescapable for some reason. Perhaps it’s the leaves that I watch fall from the trees onto my deck, or the unmistakable briskness that now ever-so-subtly hangs in the air, while the fading rays of summer cling with a loosened grip upon the breeze.
